This has everything I wanted in a Burnout game.
In general, I found this game to be easier than Burnout 3 in some ways. For instance, it's much easier to take down a rival (hit them and if they hit anything else it's a take down) but that isn't enough to bore away any player. Also, the loading times are a tad long and there is the most stupid animation with the picture. Why the hell would I want to see a picture continually appear and disappear?
There is still the great mode called crash, it's where you launch a car into peak hour traffic and cause as much damage possible, and it's made some improvements since B3. Now you can explode multiple times (crash breaker) as long as cars keep crashing. This allows you to use after touch (control your wreck in mid-air) to smash into even more cars. There is a new mode called traffic attack (or something like that) which you use the new feature (traffic checking) to cause as much damage to innocent cars as possible. Time is added to every car you crash.
So basically, this game is awesome and anyone into action, racing, burnout etc. should give it a go. Great game EA.
